Elbow Pain Relief in Raleigh, NC with SoftWave Therapy at Active Chiropractic & Wellness
A Non-Invasive Solution for Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow
Elbow pain can be more than just a nuisance—it can disrupt your daily routine, limit your ability to lift, grip, or perform at work or in sports, and become a source of chronic discomfort. Two of the most common elbow conditions are tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow, both of which involve inflammation and degeneration of the tendons that attach to the elbow joint.
At Active Chiropractic & Wellness in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Molly Hall and her team are helping patients find long-lasting relief with a cutting-edge, non-surgical solution: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology. This advanced, science-backed therapy targets the root cause of tendon pain and inflammation to promote true healing and restore function—without injections, medications, or downtime.
Understanding Tennis Elbow vs. Golfer’s Elbow
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Tennis elbow involves pain on the outside of the elbow, where the extensor tendons of the forearm attach. It’s commonly caused by overuse of the wrist and forearm muscles through repetitive motions such as typing, lifting, or racket sports.
Symptoms include:
-
Pain or burning on the outer elbow
-
Weak grip strength
-
Discomfort when lifting, twisting, or gripping objects
Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
Golfer’s elbow causes pain on the inside of the elbow where the flexor tendons attach. It can result from repeated stress on the forearm muscles used in gripping, lifting, or throwing.
Symptoms include:
-
Inner elbow pain and tenderness
-
Stiffness or weakness in the wrist and forearm
-
Pain when flexing the wrist or making a fist
Both conditions stem from repetitive microtrauma that leads to inflammation, collagen breakdown, and eventual degeneration of the tendon tissue.
How SoftWave Therapy Works for Elbow Pain
SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level. These focused waves penetrate deeply into the affected tendons and surrounding tissues to reduce pain and inflammation and accelerate tissue regeneration.
Unlike injections or temporary pain-relieving treatments, SoftWave Therapy works by repairing the damaged tissue responsible for the pain.
Scientific Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for Elbow Pain
SoftWave Therapy initiates a cascade of biological processes that make it uniquely effective for tendon-related elbow conditions like tennis and golfer’s elbow:
-
Modulation of Inflammation – Calms chronic tendon irritation and promotes anti-inflammatory signaling
-
VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) – Stimulates growth of new blood vessels to improve nutrient delivery
-
Neovascularization & Angiogenesis – Restores circulation to areas with poor blood supply
-
eNOS (Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase) – Improves oxygenation and cellular energy production
-
PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen) – Supports regeneration and repair of tendon cells
-
BMP (Bone Morphogenetic Protein) – Encourages soft tissue and tendon remodeling
-
Toll-like Receptor Modulation – Helps regulate immune response and tissue healing
-
Activation and Migration of Stem Cells – Stimulates tendon and connective tissue repair at the source
This natural healing response leads to pain reduction, improved mobility, and lasting relief—even in chronic or stubborn cases.
Why Patients Choose SoftWave for Elbow Pain Relief
Patients struggling with elbow pain often turn to braces, ice, anti-inflammatories, or even corticosteroid injections—yet the relief is often temporary, and the underlying damage persists. SoftWave Therapy offers a powerful alternative that gets to the root cause of the issue by repairing damaged tendons, reducing inflammation, and restoring strength and mobility.
Benefits of SoftWave for elbow pain include:
-
Non-surgical and drug-free treatment
-
No needles, no downtime
-
Proven results for chronic and acute tendon injuries
-
Promotes long-term healing—not just symptom relief
-
Effective even when other treatments have failed
If you’re tired of dealing with persistent elbow pain, SoftWave Therapy may be the missing piece in your recovery.
